Ignorance that should be excruciatingly painful. It's in need of updating (and is also not exhaustive), but this post on another discussion site gives a timeline of Trump Administration actions from early January into late April, http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,395099.msg2169385.html#msg2169385 . There was not a "60 days" period in that time when Trump did "little or nothing". Nor an idle 6 day period.
The corresponding China/WHO timeline, http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,395099.msg2184146.html#msg2184146 , will be substantially updated very soon, but it's already enough to infuriate anyone willing to acknowledge what China and WHO did to the world.
I've updated both, so here's some of what happened in the first half month after China told the world about Covid-19:
